Introduce yourself!

[11ofcups]

Hi yall! I'm 11ofcups but if you really want you can call me Sadie. I'm a full time power chair user and a lesbian, and I spend a lot of my time making zines and doing cross stitch. I'm in my mid-20s and will hopefully be going back to uni soon to study English Lit. Due to my health issues I do spend a lot of time online but I'm working to be more mindful about how I do it, and it's been really rewarding so far :] I'm hoping to make a simple website to be able to showcase my art online! It's nice to meet yall!

Hello hello! I'm Ray. I found Reject Convenience's channel, and this forum very recently through his latest video, and I thought this place looked really cool!
I'm currently 22 (though not for long) and I didn't have internet access until the 2010s, meaning that rather than forums and personal websites, my first experience was that of platforms and, later on, social media. I've never participated in a forum before, so I'm excited to learn what this experience is like.
What else can I say? I'm Argentinian, I'm a furry, I love Star Trek, videogames and ska (my current favorite bands are WDK and Skabidean), and I'm autistic.

For quite a while now I've cared about internet privacy, and despised the direction that software and the internet have taken, but I don't know much more about protecting my privacy than the average person. My big "awakening" moment happened around September of last year when I made an Instagram account (a bunch of local businesses and venues operate ONLY on Instagram), and found keeping up with another social media app extremely overwhelming. Then, on a trip with my family, my phone broke down and being left completely disconnected from all the distractions and stresses associated with my phone was such a gift that even now that I have a new one, I'm taking steps to minimise its usage as much as I can.

Glad to be here ^^

As long as they don't break the rules of this forum, I would love to see some of your zines.

Uh hi I'm Nova, I'm a 33yo cat from space who has started their own website because I got tired of social media (granted I still have social media platforms but mostly active on Bluesky). I am an artist who likes to draw things and am an advocate for Glaze/AI-poisoning filters (yes even ibisPaint's too), and doing what I can to keep my privacy, well, private!

Not really much to say - was already online before the Internet was widely available. Really worried about our dependence on tech nowadays and the implications of AI. Send me cheesecake! Ahoy!

Rain here, I'm a recent STEM graduate slowly getting used to life after school. I've known about Reject Convenience for a while now and started lurking here after the recent data brokers video blew up. Having spent a decent amount of time in online privacy/security circles I feel like those often rely on overcomplicated technical solutions so I really appreciate the approach this community is building. Aside from that I'm a long time Linux user so I'm always willing to help with that, and I also like to try to reject convenience in other areas of my life like walking or biking wherever I can, making all sorts of food from scratch, and just keeping a simple life philosophy in general. It's good to meet you all ^^

Hi! I'm Fifi! I'm a passionate artist and daydreamer and I'm very passionate about two things. I love everything about the art and fundamentals of video games, and I absolutely adore fish because I think they're cute. That is essentially the extent of my personality.
Really, I've always been huge on opening myself up to new topics of discussion, and Reject Everything really opened my eyes to tech privacy and the like. Plus, my cat likes this silly guy's voice, and comes into the room to sleep whenever I put a video on. I decided I'd come engage more directly in hopes of being a little more social, in ways I'm more comfortable with.
I'm a 3-year partner of someone with severe mental health issues, I love to draw, design, talk, write, and think, and I believe in you all.

I've been a very small and very unprofessional and admittedly very bad game designer for a while. It's not GOOD work, but it's fun, and I enjoy doing it, and I'm always improving. I also REALLY love horror and have always been super fascinated by its ins and outs. Even if I could never play scary games consistently.

If you're reading this... play The Upturned! It's good!
